Edmonton Oilers vs Vegas Golden Knights Prediction, Odds and Game 2 Picks for Today, 05/08/25

The Oilers took a 1-0 series lead over the Golden Knights in Game 1 thanks to a 4-2 victory on Tuesday. Now, Vegas is looking to even things up in Game 2 before the series shifts to Edmonton. The Oilers are rolling, as they have now won 5 games in a row. They have put consistent offensive pressure on their opponents in those 5 wins, having out-shot Los Angeles in all 4 wins while out-shooting Vegas 28-17 in Game 1. That pressure has resulted in Edmonton scoring a playoff-leading 4.43 goals per game so far in the postseason. When the Oilers are playing with speed, creativity and confidence the way they are right now, they are tough to slow down.

On the other side, Vegas generated just 17 shots on goal in Game 1, but that number should increase in Game 2. Vegas is still putting an average of 30 shots on goal in the postseason, and the power play is working well. The Oilers put forth a strong defensive effort in Game 1, but they are still prone to allowing high-danger chances, and both Calvin Pickard and Stuart Skinner own save percentages below .900 in the postseason. After 6 total goals were scored in Game 1, look for Game 2 to be a higher-scoring affair and consider the Over my Oilers vs Golden Knights best bet.
